WATCH: Police Welcome Two Full-Time Officers

The officially welcomed two new faces to the force Monday night as officers Cody Dollinger and Matthew Buzzard were sworn in as full-time officers.

"I noticed they both have a strong desire to become police officers," Police Chief Stephan Wilder said at the swearing-in ceremony that took place just before the North Canton City Council meeting. "They've got the heart, and they've got the desire and that means a whole lot when you're focused on going at this career."

The addition of Dollinger and Buzzard brings the number of officers up to 15, Wilder said.

"I think they both have good heads on their shoulders. They're intelligent. And they're exercising good common sense, which I think are good qualities for this job."
